Just bought it, but I wanted to know how problematic it would be to embed some sort of stub file that would initialize preware installation via shell script for the:
cd /tmp
wget http://bit.ly/preware-bootstrap
sh preware-bootstrap

method of preware installation. I have seen a lot of times that people do not have a method if they have restored their phone to reinstall preware without a computer. dunno, just a thought

Thanks - this has been corrected in v1.0.1, which has been submitted yesterday and is waiting for review.

Unfortunately, there is no way to embed a script that runs as root into an app catalog application. If there was, it would be a huge security vulnerability, because if a script can install Preware, it can also steal all your private information and send it off to a botnet.

Purchased it for my phone and my wife's phone. It was so funny, she was like "There's another Penguin icon on my phone and I don't know how to use it". I hid the icon on her phone by the way. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to webOS

Thanks for adding the "spelled out" links for desktop use. Now I can send the "share" link to my less technical friends to use. It's great to be able to send them a straight forward recipe to follow.

One question. I know in most places precentral wants you to log in to download files. To download Quick Install will they need a precentral account? If so, you might want to add instructions for that. It's been so long since I HAVEN't been logged onto precentral that I can't remember.
